Neighbourhoods may be a concept lost in many places around the country today, but here in the Okanagan, the old fashioned qualities and values of traditional neighbourhoods and neighbourly living are still very much alive and well. In fact it is the quality of the neighbourhoods throughout the Okanagan Valley that draws people here and keeps them from ever wanting to leave.

Though there is little doubt the Okanagan has grown to become the major hub between Calgary and Vancouver, many who come to live here do so for the small town values which forged the communities of the Okanagan and continue to flourish even today.

Quaint, peaceful neighbourhoods, quiet cul-de-sacs and well groomed, safe, family oriented communities all thrive here. Sunday neighbourhood barbeques, local community events and shop keepers who greet their customers by name are still the norm in the Okanagan.

Great people make great neighbours and great neighbours make great neighbourhoods. The Okanagan is filled with great people who all share a zest for life, a love of the natural lifestyle that is abundant here and an appreciation for the spirit that drives the true definition of community.
